...Enrico Cavallini; B. Favini; M. Di Giacinto; F. Serraglia In the design and development of solid propellant rocket motors, the use of numerical tools able to predict the behavior of a given motor is particularly important in order to decrease the planning times and costs. This paper is devoted...

...Fidelis O. Eke; Tai-Chien Mao; Michael J. Morris This paper explores the various analytical links between the free attitude motions of spinning bodies of the rocket type, and the system’s parameters. The system is modeled as an axisymmetric body with substantial mass loss, and special attention...
